Such factors as acid washing, column geometry, elution temperatures and pretreatment reagents are discussed together with …
The most effective elution technique for Minix makes use of acidic thiourea after an acid wash (1 M) to remove nickel, zinc and some copper.The gold-selective adsorption characteristics of Minix, particularly its high selectivity against cobalt and iron, make it possible to use its advantages (fast kinetics and circuit simplicity) without fear of …
You've worked hard to mine, process, leach and absorb the maximum amount of gold and silver from your ore body. Now it's time to recover the most precious metal from your carbon as well. Our FL elution/strip circuits routinely remove precious metals below 50–100 ppm on the eluted carbon.
cent gold on the carbon had been achieved (ca 24 h). Flow through the column was always in a downward direction. The piloting of a similar process using a countercurrent ion-exchange type of column operation is due to commence at Durban Deep Gold Mine in the near future4. t i (Method (The method of gold elution used in the investigation

Crushed ore is fully leached after 120 days and run-of-mine ore after 180 days. Pregnant leach solution from the heap leach pads is processed in a conventional adsorption, desorption and recovery (ADR) process plant that also includes an elution circuit, carbon regeneration circuit and gold refinery that produces a gold-silver doré …
Adams and Nicol [4] listed the most significant influences on elution, in order of decreasing importance, as follows : temperature, cyanide and hydroxide concentrations, and the ionic strength of the eluant. Likewise, Davidson [5] considered the temperature and reagent cyanide addition to be the most important factors affecting gold elution.
The most serious problem, however, was the poor performance of the copper pre-elution (residual copper on resin was more than 50%) resulting in contamination in the following electro-elution of gold with zinc cyanide and the resin blockage by CuCN during resin regeneration with acid which thus lowered adsorption capacity for subsequent …

Elution/ Regeneration Procedure Gold-selective IX resins are stripped with a mixture of H 2 SO 4 /thiourea, to overcome the strong bond between the resin and gold-cyanide complex. The process is efficient and complete gold elution is achieved within 6 to 8 hours. Additional steps may be included [9] to selectively strip base metals prior to gold.
Anglo Asia's Gedabek mine in Azerbaijan [13] chose the gold-selective Dowex-Minix resin over activated carbon, due to the high copper content of the ore. Elution/ Regeneration Procedure Gold-selective IX resins are stripped with a mixture of H 2 SO 4 /thiourea, to overcome the strong bond between the resin and gold-cyanide complex. The process ...

1. Introduction. The global e-waste generation rate averages approximately 50 million tons per year [1].E-waste contains large amounts of base metals (e.g., iron, nickel, copper, zinc) as well as considerable amounts of precious metals (e.g., gold, silver, palladium) [2], [3].For example in 2016, 44.7 million tons of e-waste were generated (of …

The paper presented outlines the scientific approach taken to improve the metallurgical efficiency of a modern plant at Athens Mine. The plant is based on the CIP method of gold recovery with copper concentrate as a major by-product. In the early stages of the operation the overall gold recovery achieved averaged 61% and copper recovery was 74%.

Abstract. Gold is considered a store of value and has been a sought-after metal since the dawn of human civilization. It was known to Egyptians as early as 3100 BC. The value of gold was reported to be two-and-one-half times the value of silver in the code of Menes, the founder of the first Egyptian dynasty. A gold mine in Nubia in Nile valley ...
Soak / wash the carbon for a couple of hours in 3%-5% HCL is often necessary to dissolve the junk, making for a cleaner strip of the gold-cyanide complex. A non pressurized elution strip can take up to 48 hours. Pressured systems can achieve it in less than 10 hours. Ideal flow rate is 2-3 bed volumes x hour.
The objective of this study was to investigate an improved process for recovering gold from activated carbon. The process involves contact of gold laden …
